Key Features
The Roland Promars Virtual Instrument is an exact replication of a classic monophonic synthesizer from 1979. For the first time, the Roland Promars Virtual Instrument delivers the unmistakable sound of this underground hero to your DAW in a plug-in format with plug-out capabilities for select Roland hardware. The sound of this rare, vintage instrument is perfectly reproduced with Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology. ACB faithfully captures the sound and feel of this vintage classic, using original design specs, and a detailed, part-by-part analysis of each analog circuit, giving you access to the sounds of your favourite records like never before!
The Compuphonic Promars Virtual Instrument provides synthesizer sounds with incredible punch with two oscillators per voice, each with a sub-oscillator, a fantastic sounding filter, pulse width modulation and more. Ideal for producers and musicians looking for out of this world sounds with a booming low end and grunty mid-range, the Promars Virtual Instrument will be a staple to your VST collection. That's not all, improvements have been made to make sure it can compete with the most contemporary of software monophonic synthesizers, such as increased VCO range, newly developed Random LFO waveform setting, modern production effects such as reverb and delay and an advanced arpeggiator.
Product Ref: 179450
Delivering the unmistakable character of vintage Roland synths, the Promars Virtual Instrument tackles the rare and wonderful analog original that debuted in 1979. Originally paired as a sibling to the legendary Jupiter-4, the Promars created a legacy of its own, marrying the stability and flexibility of microprocessing with the warm and charming tones of analog circuitry. Two VCO's with sub-oscillators provided on each, give the Promars Virtual Instrument a huge, thick and rich voicing. The ability to detune each VCO allows you to create a distinctive unison chorus effect, widening your sound with modulation to sound like modern contemporary four-VCO synthesizers.
Using innovative ACB technology, the Promars Virtual Instrument accurately models the original hardware unit to capture every fine detail using a part-by-part analysis of each analog circuit. Meticulously researched and designed, the Promars Virtual Instrument delivers the charm and nuance of the original analog circuitry that is revered by so many. Every nuance and instantly recognisable sound is present, from the wide detuned VCO's, harmonically rich, saw-like leads and fat, growling bass can all be heard to create the iconic sound of the late '70s.
This doesn't mean however that the Promars Virtual Instrument is stuck in the past. Modern appointments are implemented that weren't available on the original unit to fit with contemporary workflow and demands, such as the extended oscillator range for added flexibility, new Random waveform setting, full user control of noise and pulse width, a plethora of modern effects and an advanced arpeggiator with tempo sync.
The Roland Promars Virtual Instrument is also compatible as a Plug-out that can be hosted in a range of Roland hardware like the System-8. This seamless integration opens up a whole new world of available options and potential with your Promars Virtual Instrument. Transfer sounds back and forth between the hardware and the software to carry your sounds with you anywhere you go and update your presets on the fly. The wide range of filtering capabilities through the VCF will become available to you, allowing you to get hands-on interaction for any automation or evolving soundscapes you want to produce, without the need for a computer. Due to the rarity of vintage synthesizers, the Promars Virtual Instrument is the ultimate companion for touring musicians looking for the classic Roland sound in an affordable and portable package.
